Hi, I recently bought a replacement power supply for my lenovo laptop. &nbsp;Now my battery only charges when then laptop is powered down. &nbsp;When the mouse is paced over the power icon it states &quot;plugged in, not charging&quot; - the battery does not lose charge but remains at a constant charge, but as stated above only charges when the machine is powered down, from a quick search i see i may need to calibrate the battery but I am unsure of how to do so, could find nothing in BIOS<br />
thanks in advance, born2bl8

Power supply only charges battery when laptop turned off

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.

Windows Vista is an operating system created by Microsoft as the successor to Windows XP. It was intended for PCs, workstations and laptops, and shares the same code base as its successor, Windows 7. New features included an updated graphical user interface (GUI) and visual style dubbed Aero, a new search component called Windows Search, redesigned networking, audio, print and display subsystems, and new multimedia tools. Vista aimed to increase the level of communication between machines on a home network, using peer-to-peer technology to simplify sharing files and media between computers and devices. Windows Vista included version 3.0 of the .NET Framework, allowing software developers to write applications without traditional Windows APIs.
